Bannister Story

As math nerds, pragmatic entrepreneurs, and runners, we knew there had to be a way to create highly customized and updatable running training plans, leverage the power of technology, and understand the progressions and effects of training on the body to improve running performance.

With that knowledge and experience, our team developed a science-based algorithm to generate highly customized, updatable, and effective running training plans.

Bannister is the result of that.​
